Abstract:
A controversial subject in education, the North Carolina 1959 General Assembly is considered for the first time, merit pay for teachers. There are both pros and cons to the philosophy that those who excel at the job of teaching should receive better pay than those who perform poorly. It is argued that it keeps the better teachers employed through incentive, while others argue that the same pay schedule should apply to all teachers, regardless of performance.
